Thirty-One Legged Race Cultivate Spirit of Teamwork!


This is my new favorite show. I saw it on chinerTV in Hawai'i.

Have you ever run in a three-legged race? Imagine if you had to run in a line of 30 people, instead of just two. Does that sound hard? Well, an event known as the 31-legged race is popular right now among Japanese elementary school students. In this event, 30 classmates line up in a single row with their legs tied together at the ankles. As one long line of 31 legs, they run as fast as they can against the clock over 50 meters. There is even a 31-legged race national championship for elementary school students, which is broadcast on national TV.
